The second annual Empty Bowls meal and silent auction, a fundraiser for Mount Si Food Bank, is 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, in the Mount Si High School commons.

Come for a simple meal of soup and bread provided by local restaurants, and take your handcrafted bowl home with you as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.

Each bowl is being crafted by a Snoqualmie Valley middle school or high school art student.

Tickets will be available at the food bank or on its website, www.mtsifoodbank.org, in January.

Donations are now being sought for the Empty Bowls silent auction. To give a service or item to auction, contact Heidi Dukich at (425) 888-0096 or send e-mail to hedukich@hotmail.com. Follow the food bank at www.mtsifoodbank.org or at www.facebook.com/pages/Mt-Si-Food-Bank/246861781991434.
